Context of 2 Chronicles 24:15

13As the men worked, the project progressed under the foremen’s guidance. They restored God’s temple to its proper condition and reinforced it. 14When they finished, they brought the rest of the money to the king and Jehoiada, who used it to make utensils for the Lord’s temple. They made dishes and gold and silver utensils for the service and for the offerings. As long as Jehoiada lived, they sacrificed burnt offerings in the Lord’s temple. When Jehoiada was old and had lived out his years, he died. He was 130 years old when he died. 16He was buried in the City of David with the kings because of the good he had done in Israel for God and the temple. 17After he died, the officials of Judah bowed in front of the king with their faces touching the ground. Then the king listened to their advice.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 15-27Verses 15-27 See what a great judgment on any prince or people, the death of godly, zealous, useful men is.

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 15-1615-16. Jehoiada waxed old ... and died--His life, protracted to unusual longevity and spent in the service of his country, deserved some tribute of public gratitude, and this was rendered in the posthumous honors that were bestowed on him. Among the Hebrews, intramural interment was prohibited in every city but Jerusalem, and there the exception was made only to the royal family and persons of eminent merit, on whom the distinction was conferred of being…Read the comment
